Menu

(1980 memoirs)
There was one meal [at Cousin Frankie's] I have never in my life forgotten which was different from all the others.  For some reason Lucretia was gone, Henry alone, and Frankie invited him for supper.  It was June; and beaming, she told me the menu  --  shortcake.  She was going to town to get the berries that very morning.  I said, "Fine.  And what else?"  -- why nothing else.  We were going to have Shortcake!
